NowGamer: "You think of Battlefield and you think of tanks, you think of planes and you think of choppers. But you also think of the emergent gameplay that these different elements bring when coupled to a large, open map.
So taking those things away from Battlefield might seem like a bizarre move for DICE, removing the one thing that helps the FPS standout from the identikit shooters filling an oversaturated market."
Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign
Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.
Halo veteran Marcus Lehto's studio, Ridgeline, will now be joined by DICE on the project.
Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.
hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D
You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

They wanted faster combat to appeal to people who enjoy it. They still call themselves DICE and their product is still BF3. That's proof enough for me.
This is a great idea. Why not have the best of both worlds. Big maps and small maps. I have to give dice credit on this.
IMO some one should slap the F*** out of DICE for doing this.
Seriously? ALLOT of ppl on the forums around the net is going CRAZY (in a bad way) against this shit.
In fact, The hate I read agaist this map pack (Mode) is more then I have seen towards any game. And I understand them 100%
I once like many others was a HUGE battlefield fan, And I in someway are ( I play Project Reality (bf2 mod))
But I haven't played bf3 sense before Christmas I think,
I "tested" the game after the PATCH we had to wait on FOR 6 MONTH! (thank you dice).
And when it arrives its more errors and bugs and wallclipping then BEFORE the patch.
The COM ROSE is STILL a mess, WHY?
Well first of all, Every one was hoping BIG time on the bf2 style of map/comm rose where you saw who needed a MED pack or AMMO pack wherever you were on the map. GUESS WHAT?
ITS NOT IN THE GAME ...... And I fear it will never happen.
What you can do INSTEAD is still call out for MEDD and AMMO but only the ppl in the 10m range or so CAN SEE THE ICONS! And not only that, YOU HAVE TO BE in the same squad to even see them @ all. Great dice .... Great.
The helicopters is still like flying tanks and STILL not even close to the hellos in BF2 (and to all ppl saying: But new things is good", Yes NEW things is good, BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER change something that is PERFECT. I thought DICE of ANYONE should have realized that... Guess not.
And don't let me start about the tanks.... Jesus Christ.
But back to the MAP PACK! I know armored kill or what ever its called is coming, and its great. (Tho I still believe it will be a CLUSTER FUCK of flags in the middle and an empty field that no one is using on the sides, except for jumping over hellos with apc,s)
So, a question: What do you call this? No seriously ppl. Think for a second, In fact, Look back at BF2 and then tell me: IS THERE ANYTHING in BF2 that is even CLOSE to this "map pack" coming?... NO!
If DICE want to change something (This is where I agree with you ppl that saying "new things is always good")
MAKE PROJECT REALITY size maps, PPL HAVE to be in a squad or they are KICKED from the game just like in PR.
To all the ppl complaining about walking in 10 min to see some one, APC Squad? Helli squad? In PR you get an EVAC from base to where the WAR is in 2 min if the hellipilot is coming back to base. If nott you will get an answer from pilot as soon as he is rdy if not the COMMANDER (that isnt in bf3) Give you an other order that you have to follow if you want points and dont finish the round with -124 points.
(THAT also brings HUGE teamwork and crazy tight community.
It also would bring "kids" to act "older" when talking in mic. No screaming, Talk calm, think first and so on....)
Alot of PR players is OLDER and many of them have done the militery IRL so they know how to "talk"
No instead they release this COD I DON'T KNOW WHAT map pack and say : This is BATTLEFIELD !
WTF dice you just spitt in the faces of the 1000 of followers you once HAD, Like me...
When DICE said: We nailed it. I agree dice. You NAILED the last NAIL in the coffin that BATTLEFIELD is now getting buried in. RIP BATTLEFIELD 3
AND I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE DISAGREES !
It just show how young kids are in here and how stupid they are to not realize that THIS IS NOT FLAME OR TROLLING! This is the TRUTH how many others then me is feeling out there.
So go back to your cod or bf3 : ). I am happy for you. I keep playing PR and later on planetside.
I'm amped about this! I like the wide open environments, but there is something to be said about close quarter combat. Can't wait to see how destruction plays a roll in maneuvering through hallways.
Who need doors when you have RPG's?
Don't know why people are mad , its not like they didn't release the Back to Karkand map pack first.
So they have added some new big maps and soon some close quarter maps , be nice to see a campaign DLC that features Jets /Helis so I can practice my crappy flying skills :P
